Endau Rompin, straddling the Johor/Pahang border, is the second National Park after Taman Negara. It covers an area of approximately 80,000 hectares of rich and exotic flora and fauna, encompassing the watershed of the rivers Endau and Rompin, from which it derives its name. In other words, this place is huge.
Long before entering the town of Dabong, from the east, this waterfall can be seen over 8 kilometers away. It releases water from the Stong Mountain Range at a saddle. The word “Stong” actually derived from the English word “stone” Early travelers were fascinated that the mountain range is made up of one huge boulder. The name of “stone hill” was gradually accepted and cut short to “Stong”. Take a relatively leisure hike to the waterfalls or challenge yourselves to the summit of Gunung Stong or Gunung Ayam.
